We've all heard ads for brokerage houses. They were all over TV years ago. Some ads were quite famous such as "

- "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.”

- John Houseman's famous ads for Smaith Barney "They make money the old-fashioned way: They earn it.”

- "Merrill Lynch is bullish on America.”

But I can't recall an ad that boasted how well a broker's clients did. If the average client beat index funds I'm thinking we'd hear about that success every night on prime time television.
